Broads Puzzles

It all began with the purchase of a Hunsett Mill puzzle from Lathams at the end of our holiday in April.

Having done one puzzle I wanted to do another and the search began for Broads related puzzles. I happened to look on eBay and found an Upton Dyke puzzle with about ten minutes left to run. Well …. what would you have done? Of course – I bid for it and got it!

This one was really interesting because i could check on Craig’s website and find the names of the yachts from their numbers.

I was hunting on eBay every day now and soon spotted my next one. There were several days to wait and I was sure that someone else would put in a high bid and get it. I was lucky again and The Swan Inn, Horning was soon completed. This was special to me as a Southgate relative was licensee here back in the mid 1800’s …

My last Broads jigsaw was a windmill on the River Ant …

It wasn’t until I started to do it that I realised it was How Hill in the distance! Of course I now recognise the picture which was taken before all the new moorings were done.

I’ve no idea if there are any more Broads puzzles but I will keep hunting!

Hi Sally-Ann. We got Richardson a bit later than expected, and got away about 2pm. We saw your boat moored at Ludham Bridge around 2:30, but nobody was onboard, I expect you were doing the annual photo. We kept going to get a mooring at Ranworth. Never saw you Sunday and went Didn't we choose the right week? Hope you enjoyed yourselves, and look forward to reading this years blog. Simon
